Monitoring Chronic Conditions from Your Home

Patients with complex chronic conditions are being monitored and supported by their health care providers from the comfort of their homes, reducing disruption to their daily lives. Using remote patient care technology, providers are alerted to changes in a patient’s condition before it requires a visit to an emergency room or a return to the hospital.

Canadians who have benefited from using this digital health technology report they had fewer emergency department visits and hospital stays, and it increased their satisfaction and quality of life.

This short animated video demonstrates how remote patient care works, and how it’s connecting patients with their health care providers without travel.
